REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION: "The practitioner will benefit from the scientifically rigorous approach to clinical decision making consistently applied and from the useful insights into clinical interventional practice provided by leaders in the field...Dr. Topol is to be congratulated for producing a masterful text that should be of major interest to a much broader medical audience than its title might suggest." -JAMA --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of this field, June 24, 2004

This review is from: Textbook of Interventional Cardiology (Hardcover)

This textbook has been published in a new edition with 53 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to interventional cardiology. These chapters are organized into 6 sections, which include pharmacologic intervention, coronary and peripheral intervention, evaluation of interventional techniques, valvuloplasty and pericardial disease, outcome effectiveness, and emerging technologies. The chapter on historical perspectives by Richard Myler is a fascinating glimpse into the lives and struggles of the pioneers in this field, including Dr. Andreas Gruntzig. The chapters are well-written, with clear subtitles and photos. A selection of color photos is included at the beginning of the book; most photos are black and white. Each chapter has an extensive bibliography to support the review material presented. This book is an excellent addition to the library of the cardiologist interested in intervention.

book was not in brand new condition. it was, however, in relatively new condition. it appeared to have been bought in a foreign country at a lower price and re-sold in the USA market for a profit. The CD that was supposed to be included with the book was also missing.
